Premieră mondială. Inteligența Artificială a creat pentru prima dată viruși care nu existau în natură

Brian Hie and his team at Stanford have utilized the generative AI Evo 2 to design 16 new bacteriophages that are more effective against E. coli than natural models, as reported in Science. While Evo 2 is freely available, experts warn of potential misuse for bioterrorism, highlighting the need for better governance. The synthetic viruses show promise for new therapies against antibiotic-resistant infections, but the risk of malicious actors creating dangerous pathogens remains a concern.
